What is the proper use of degree initials in business?


Question:
I recently earned my MBA degree. There is a debate in our office about the proper use of degrees in business communication. (We work at a university.) Some of our co-workers sign their emails and correspondance "John Smith, MBA." Others think it's a little pompus and pretentious. Since I worked so hard for my MBA, it has me wondering, do I need to use those initials in business correspondance. Should I use them. What's proper and what's preposterous?

Answer:
I agree, it sounds pompous to me. I don't even sign my name with MD after it (though it is on my prescription pad). Of course even if I did it wouldn't even look like "MD".
